## What it is
A workshop repository containing guides, demos, and an interactive book for advanced graphics programming with WebGL and GLSL, accompanying Matt DesLauriers' Frontend Masters course 'Advanced Creative Coding: WebGL and Shaders'. It covers shader syntax, glslify, canvas-sketch, and Three.js demos.

## Use cases
- learn webgl and glsl shaders
- creative coding with three.js
- understand glsl syntax and glslify
- build shader effects for the web
- learn 3D graphics programming in the browser
- get started with canvas-sketch for generative art

## When to choose
- you want structured, hands-on material for learning WebGL and GLSL
- you are interested in creative coding, media art, or shader effects
- you want free guides and demos accompanying a professional video course

## When to avoid
- you need a production graphics library rather than educational material
- you want to learn native OpenGL or Vulkan instead of web-based WebGL
- you need actively maintained tooling - the repo is course material, not software

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: graphics, developer-tools, documentation
- domain: graphics, web-development, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform, browser
- tags: webgl, glsl, shaders, creative-coding, threejs, workshop, frontend-masters, canvas-sketch, glslify, game-development, web-server, nodejs
